Closing Comments

The loss right now is due entirely to the spread (the fact that you can’t immediately sell for what you bought at). We’ll see how this progresses after tonight and tomorrow night. I’ll update tomorrow to see if anything is worth buying or selling as well as Thursday

Enjoy the show.
